I am a 20+ year executive with a background in Information Technology and its application within the business environment. My career spans transportation and logistics (domestic and international), manufacturing, and education. During that time I oversaw IT departments for four organizations, and was a senior executive (up to, and including President) at three more, with revenues ranging from 5 million to 700 million annually. I was also heavily involved in the deployment, maintenance and modification of ERP systems built for industry-specific applications (SAP, Innovative IES, Infor XA (Mapics), and one in-house logistics system).I have a Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) Major in Computer Information Systems as well as a Master of Science in Accounting & Information Technology.
